Peter Hübner -Huebner- (11/04/1940), a German composer, from Erfurt. He is an autodidact. At some point during his youth a knowledge of reading and writing music came quite unexpectedly to him. Suddenly it was there - overnight he became a composer who sat at his desk where, with no instruments at all, he wrote operas, symphonies, concerts and light music. World-famous composers such as Bernd Alois Zimmermann and music theorists such as Herbert Eimert (himself, amongst other things, the father of electronic music), music academies and music universities were completely bewildered by the phenomenon of a fully skilled creator of music who had undergone no formal training or course of study, and so, at the time of his matriculation at the University of Music in Cologne, he was granted a most exceptional exemption from all lessons.
